The song is a remix of Method Man’s “All I Need” (which appears on the same album Tical), with an interpolation of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s 1968 hit, “You’re All I Need to Get By”, with Mary J. Blige singing the choruses, and backing vocals. The song also ended up winning the duo the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1996.

In 2008, it was ranked #44 on VH1’s “100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop” list.
In 2009, Method Man and Mary J. Blige performed the song together at VH1’s 6th Annual Hip Hop Honors ceremony. The song is often cited as the hybrid of what’s now known as “Thug-Loved” duets.
In 2012, Complex ranked the song #1 on its list of “The 25 Best Hip-Hop Love Songs”.
